Gift Card holder

Here's another gift card holder I made this year.  I used it for cards from a local coffee shop.  I used acetate embossed with a swirly pattern for the inside, card holder part...pretty cute!

Gift Card Holders for Christmas

I made some changes to my original Christmas stocking gift card holder because the recipient of the original thought it was a Christmas ornament and hung it on the tree!  It would have been a shame if she never found the gift card inside.  I added a "Pull Here" tab and a ribbon to dress it up and I like the results.  I switched out the little ornament to favorites of the two little guys I gave these to.  

The snowflake die I used is from The Cat's Pajamas!  It's Snowflake Cutups (Die 010)

Hero Arts Tutorial

Uh oh...I'm in trouble.  I found this tutorial and LOVED it!!  Problem is to reproduce it, I'm going to need a  Silhouette machine and I don't have room for anymore machines!  I have to admit, this is amazing.  The video includes a very good lesson on how to blend with Copics, too.  Enjoy!!!

Gift Card Holders for Christmas

I'm beginning to really love gift card holders.  There are so many things you can make that can incorporate a gift card.  I was at a local craft fair with a friend and we saw some adorable little stocking gift card holders in school colors that she loved.  It was disappointing that the colors she needed weren't among those for sale so I decided to see what I could come up with.  I started searching on line and found an adorable idea on Kelly Acheson's blog.  It inspired me and this is what I came up with.

Haunted Halloween

I made this card for my swap at Linda Heller's "Stampcation".  The weekend was really spectacular and I'm so happy that I was lucky enough to attend...thanks to Kim for inviting me!!  All of the demoes, displays and sharing really inspired me and fueled me with excitement and ideas to use during the upcoming Holiday season!!

Money Holder

 Having older sons makes it really difficult at birthdays and holidays.  Giving them a check is so boring.  This year we gave our youngest money towards a new phone he's been wanting.  I'm really happy with the money holder I came up with.  I think it will make him laugh!  I used 5 pieces of chipboard cut to the shape of the image I found on the internet and I put a piece of clear laminating film on top to make it look more real.
